Let me 'splain...no...there is too much, let me sum up...

Buttercup is marry Humperdink in little less than half and hour...

hee hee hee!  How can you go wrong when you start out a Blog post with a quote from one of the BESTEST movies of all time???! ;)

I was doing so well on this whole blogging thing!!!  *sigh*  Then a seriously nasty gahmbu hit our house...you gotta "love" it when a sickness includes barfing, congestion, coughing, and headache...so wonderful...
urgh.  It has juuuuust as of last night been passed around to our whole family!  I thought that poor Amanda had gotten away from it...until she puked off of the top bunk bed last night...nice.  So, needless to say it has been a busy and INSANE month.  This post will be alot like my junk drawer, full of random stuff, totally disorganized, and full of about 400 pens...well everything but that last part.

1.  Amanda's first Science Fair Project:

She decided to do the "Put food coloring in water,

and see what color creeps up into the white carnations first" project- with blue being her guess.

Just so ya know, the blue dye showed up first in the little white carnations we used...
her hypothesis was correct! :D

2.  Josh read the ENTIRE Twilight series...*sniffle* 

I am so impressed that he waded through ALL that terrible angst JUST FOR LITTLE 'OL ME!!! ;)  I haven't really pushed for him to read them because he has had NO extra time with the whole being a Med School Student and all...but I  knew that if he could cope with the angsty-ness of it he would really enjoy the story!  While the angst was painful to him, the overall storyline caught him hook, line, and sinker. :D 

3.  Our garden is growing ACTUAL FOOD!!!

Peas

Green Beans...um...do you see it?  No, no...over the the right...nope, look back to the left a bit...VOILA! Isn't it a cute little thing? ;)

and a whole passel of Tomatoes! :D

Oh...and I am STILL totally terrified at how well the Zucchini are doing!!! ;)

We have also been getting visits from the COOLEST dragonflies I have ever seen!

Amanda's pink roses are FREAKIN' OUT! Beautiful huh?

I can't imagine where these roses have seen an example of freakin' out...

Oh, yeah...there it is!

(Those are real flowers that she put under her headband...while she was at an Activity Days activity earlier in the evening, she LOVES going to Activity Days!)

4.  Sam is still TOTALLY obsessed with Thomas the Tank Engine

This would be him in OUR bed and yes...he wants to sleep with his favorite battery-powered Thomas toy!  Last night he actually fell asleep cuddling a Thomas DVD...*sigh*

5.  and of couse Izzy is STILL as evil as ever!!!

Emily was so proud of the beautiful Block tunnel she built for Sam's train track...

so naturally Izzy tore it down immediately...with pleasure!!!

Poor Em, look how bummed she was!!!

We had cheesecake for dessert one night, and long after it was all put away I found Izzy sitting at the table having pillaged a HUGE chunk of it...eating it out of her hand...she is just TOO amazing! LOL

This is her new 'unhappy' face...we call it "Frog Lips" ;D

6.  Sheesh, how could I forget Mother's Day?  Well we were all pretty sick so it wasn't all fun and games, but as usual my Emily woke me up with her gifts...

She is so cute, I love this crazy girl!

...and does she know what I like! LOL 

I love how she wrapped up my Diet Dr.Pepper in a pink ribbon...she is AWESOME!!!

7.  I have still been trying to get caught up on my scrapbooking...

we shall see if it ever happens in this lifetime!!! 

Um, yeah that is one of our wheeled laundry hampers.

I call this "Mo-Bile" scrappin'...hey I gotta do something! :D

OK, so there were a few of the things that have been going on around our looney bin this last month!  Nothing too exciting...but when is my life exciting? ;)

Oh, and Your Welcome for NOT taking any pics to share of the barfing...
